This is the city hall building for Stockholm. Stockholm was a nice city, I just didn't feel we had enough time there. We only took a 30 minute walking tour through one part of the city. I did learn that the Nobel Prize was development there from the man it was named after, and that is where they hold the ceremonies to award the Nobel Prize. One thing we did was visit the Absolut Icebar! Which that sounds crazy, but the bar is made out of total ice! The floor, walls, seats, bar itself, and cups to drink out of - all made out of ice! Here are 2 pictures below. They give you the jackets when you enter.
Old town area of Stockholm. In pictures of Stockholm, I would always see these different colored buildings. This center square is very close to the Royal Palace.
Nobel Museum - you can't really read it off the glass. I didn't go in it, but thought the picture would be cool. Lots of buildings in Stockholm have the name Nobel in it, due to the fact, that family gave tons of money to the city!
Yes, sitting on ice. You could not sit for very long even with the jacket on you. You can see the walls behind us, just huge blocks of ice. They cut the blocks out of a river in Northern Sweden when it freezes over. The block of ice are kept frozen and sent to the Icebars located in other places.

Cool. . .
Looks like so much fun! I am glad you had a great trip and your boys had fun, too. The Danish cuise is very similar to what C's dad grew up on. What is it, shmorosbord?
I am loving all of your pictures. Ryan looks almost giddy in the ice bar, did he "partake" in the libations?
